The short (s) variant of the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene linked functional polymorphic
region (5-HTTLPR) is associated with depression. Stressful life events, gender, and race …

BACKGROUND: Mixed evidence has suggested that homozygous carriers of the short allele
(s/s) of the serotonin transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) may be at …

In this study we investigated interactions between the 5‐HTTLPR genotype and
environmental risk factors (G× E) on symptoms of depression in two large Australian …

Background. Serotonin is a good candidate for major depression. We attempted to replicate
the study by Caspi and colleagues [Science (2003) 301, 386–389] which reported a …

Background: We compare the genotype distribution for the serotonin transporter
polymorphism (5‐HTTLPR) in a sample of older Taiwanese adults with samples of various …

Context Substantial resources are being devoted to identify candidate genes for complex
mental and behavioral disorders through inclusion of environmental exposures following the …

Previous research has demonstrated that a polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene
(5-HTTLPR) and adverse psychosocial circumstances interact to predict depression. The …

Abstract Caspi et al.(2003) found an interaction between the serotonin transporter
polymorphism gene (5-HTTLPR) and stressful life events on depression. Subsequent …

The hypothesis that the S allele of the 5-HTTLPR serotonin transporter promoter region is
associated with increased risk of depression, but only in individuals exposed to stressful …

Background Key questions about the interaction between the serotonin transporter length
polymorphism (5‐HTTLPR) and stress in the etiology of depression remain unresolved. We …
